Actually, it seems like all the values in MT/options are affected, not
just the value for 'branch', and this is regardless of the value being
empty or not.  This is because Graydon switched to use the token
parser to go through MT/options, and if the quotes aren't there, the
value (or part of the value) is condidered a token, not a string.
